I like your central idea today, Hannah, but even more, I like these individual images. The title and the opening couplet, then “rationed wilderness”—I bet we could discuss that for days. Then “ocean sloshing”—how many would have thought of “sloshing”? I’m very glad you did! Michigan’s nickname, as well as winter’s, might well be “The pothole state.” So for me, putting that on a mountaintop as prelude to a volcano has authenticity and impact (the pothole more than the volcano, actually, but that’s obviously just me). Good stuff!
